Brexit 🔥

2020-02-14 18:25:15 UTC  

is there a dumpsterfire emoteicon?

2020-02-15 00:52:36 UTC  

Fuck brexit

2020-02-15 11:03:03 UTC  

An Anarchist that is pro-EU?

2020-02-15 23:55:58 UTC  

Yeahhhh

2020-02-16 11:45:02 UTC  

Isn't the EU the opposite of what an Anarchist wants? A Union of nations that put forward Beaurocrats to encourage Capitalism across the whole Continent?

2020-02-16 14:22:05 UTC  

I may be an anarchist but I love my country

2020-02-16 14:22:19 UTC  

And the eu helps my country

2020-02-16 21:40:39 UTC  

```we're content with economic damage due to leaving the EU but IMF predicts UK will experience largest growth out of the G7, ill take whatever win we can``` That doesn't seem very credible, as all these forecasts have been either over the top optimistic or made by doom merchants, and based on speculative and not factual post-Brexit data. The UK will lose multiple trade deals in the short term that will tank it's growth. More likely in the long term, the UK will keep ahead of Germany and France but behind Canada and the US. Brexit hasn't actually happened yet, as UK is still in the EU market.

2020-02-16 21:45:11 UTC  

I am more interested to see 2021 before speculating on what ifs with GDP, as politicized economists are circling like vultures around the UK right now. 😛

2020-02-16 21:46:06 UTC  

I mean that was from the IMF

2020-02-16 21:46:14 UTC  

And mentioned

2020-02-16 21:46:24 UTC  

brits have accepted economic damage

2020-02-16 21:46:30 UTC  

as leaving the EU

2020-02-16 21:46:35 UTC  

Which is all speculative, just like doomsday predictions.

2020-02-16 21:46:42 UTC  

well done

2020-02-16 21:47:05 UTC  

Explain why euro countries will stay behind Canada

2020-02-16 21:47:12 UTC  

US is understandable

2020-02-16 21:47:34 UTC  

You mean actual GDP or growth rates

2020-02-16 21:48:21 UTC  

GDP growth generally.

2020-02-16 21:49:12 UTC  

Ah okay, well most likely yea, the UK has a large working force in todays and next gen adult working force to help sustain/grow the economy

2020-02-16 21:49:24 UTC  

something which germany doesn't

2020-02-16 21:49:31 UTC  

Because Germany is slowing but won't admit it.

2020-02-16 21:49:37 UTC  

hehe

2020-02-16 21:49:40 UTC  

you're not wrong

2020-02-16 21:51:29 UTC  

To be fair, I am waiting for Post-Brexit data, as trade deals aren't final till the end of the year, and first quarter is going to be a poor predictor for future growth - as there will be fear mongering and panic.

2020-02-16 21:52:03 UTC  

Q2/Q3 in 2021 will give much better data.

2020-02-16 21:53:01 UTC  

The UK could top Canada, but that all depends how post-Brexit actually goes.

2020-02-16 21:53:35 UTC  

And how shit Trudeau is.

2020-02-16 21:55:20 UTC  

Yeah, im not trying to big up the UK but the fact that there's actually potential after brexit for growth is success for us, and we'll see how the decentralisation goes

2020-02-16 22:00:30 UTC  

I think it all depends on whether the UK can get rid of trade protectionism and regulation in agriculture, and other things that make the EU sloppy and inefficient.

2020-02-17 03:59:44 UTC  

EU is ready to give that all up for CETA, TTIP, somehow they don't want to do the same for the UK

2020-02-17 06:30:01 UTC  

i have a feeling ireland is gonna ask for a referendum and try to leave the uk. to stay in the EU

2020-02-17 06:32:07 UTC  

That would mean putting borders between UK and Ireland

2020-02-17 06:46:56 UTC  

yes but the official language of the EU is irish

2020-02-17 07:16:24 UTC  

Thought it was just English, for convenience

2020-02-17 07:16:37 UTC  

At least, European countries learn British English, not Irish specifically

2020-02-17 10:47:59 UTC  

Official language of the EU is English

2020-02-17 10:48:30 UTC  

Since basically everyone hates the French so the plan to make French the official language couldn't work

2020-02-17 12:44:35 UTC  

its irish

2020-02-17 12:48:51 UTC  

Irish is the only official language of the EU that is not the most widely spoken language in any member state. According to the 2006 Irish census figures, there are 1.66 million people in Ireland with some ability to speak Irish, out of a population of 4.6 million, though only 538,500 use Irish on a daily basis (counting those who use it mainly in the education system) and just over 72,000 use Irish as a daily language outside the education system.[31]
